Two Ways to Use Free Online Response Systems With Students
(Brandi Gollinger)
Socrative and Poll Everywhere can be used with students who have access to a computer, cell phone, or a mobile device such as an iPod Touch or iPad.
Both Socrative and Poll Everywhere allow for real time interaction with the students. The teacher gets instant data and all students are contributing simultaneously.
Create a free account with Socrative. The free version will allow you to create quizzes for up to 50 users per activity.
The website has helpful video tutorials to get you started. Create a variety of quiz questions including: Multiple Choice, True/False and Short Answer.
With Poll Everywhere you can project instant student feedback onto the screen and watch the real time data change on the bar graph as
students send in responses via text message or from a computer, cell phone, or mobile device. Create a free account with Poll Everywhere
and then get started making your first poll question for up to 30 participants with the free version.
If your students are using iPods or iPads with Poll Everywhere,
they can save the website as an icon (looks like an app icon) on the device. Here's how you do that:
Open the browser on the iPod Touch or iPad
Navigate to the exact page of the website you want to make an icon for
Click on the icon on the top left side of the screen that looks like a rectangle with a right curved arrow
Choose "Add to Home Screen"
Name the website what you want and then touch "add"
It will then set the website as an icon on your iPod Touch/iPad
